David Lami Friebe (“Tyler Perry’s Sistas,” “All American”) has been cast as Izaiah Hawthorne on CBS’ “Beyond the Gates.”
Although a first air date was not announced at press time, Izaiah is Jacob’s (Jibre Hordges) brother, who hits town and immediately establishes two complicated relationships amidst his own family drama. The timing of Izaiah’s presence couldn’t be worse for Jacob as he and his wife, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit), unexpectedly find themselves on opposite sides of a major marital dilemma.
“Beyond the Gates” marks Friebe’s first foray into the world of daytime drama. He can currently be seen as Trey in the BET original drama series “Tyler Perry’s Sistas,” having made his debut during the show’s seventh season.
Other credits for Friebe include a stint on The CW’s soon-to-conclude “All American” and the series “Bloody Famous.” He also appeared in the 2024 theatrical film “The Haunting of Hollywood.”
